Fresh, canned, or on top of spaghetti, tomatoes will never go out of style. It’s true – tomatoes aren’t just another “pretty face” in the world of tasty produce – they are true disease-fighters, helping to keep the population healthy.

Lycopene-rich tomatoes have been shown to reduce the incidence of prostate enlargements and prostate cancer by as much as 45% in those who consume the fruit regularly.
